‘More Firepower’ to Afghanistan

On firing McChrystal Obama said there would be no change in policy:

U.S. President Barack Obama says the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan will remain the same despite his decision to replace the top general leading the war effort.

Today, though, his ‘shiny new’ general, Petraeus, promises the US Senate that in fact there will be to changes to policy:

WASHINGTON – Gen. David H. Petraeus told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that he would take a new look at the rules governing the use of heavy firepower in the Afghan war, which have cut down on United States airstrikes and civilian casualties but have been bitterly criticized by American forces who say they have made the fight more dangerous.

General Petraeus said he would look anew at the rules of engagement in Afghanistan.

Calling the protection of his troops a “moral imperative,” General Petraeus signalled in his Senate confirmation hearing to take command in Afghanistan what could be his first significant shift in policy since President Obama last week fired the top commander there, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal.

Sure, Mr Obama, why worry about more of this:

I guess McChrystal didn’t kill quite enough kids for our Senators.  

187 Lockheed F-22’s Won’t be built: Yeah !!!

Obama Wins!

Lockheed Martin Loses!

We won another one, right???

Man, we’re just killing it since January 18.

What a change.

Let’s win some more.

Win Win ! WIN  WIN !

WIN

Fine print do not read this part:

Instead of the 180 odd F-22s they’re building 2400 Lockheed Martin F-35’s to fight ‘counterinsurgency wars all over the globe’.

a truly transformational weapon system that provides quantum leaps in survivability and lethality.

YEAH !!

2400 more fighter/bombers and more lethality too !!!!!

Change only total idiots can believe in.
